Expected Title I Expenditure 2023-24

Translation Services

Funds will be used to purchase supplies for community planning that involves conducting a community-wide assessment to identify major factors, both academic and nonacademic, in schools and the surrounding community that affect student academic achievement. It is expected that increased communication in the form of printed materials and translation services used through school wide intervention initiatives can provide behavior supports, reduce attendance issues, and increase community/parent engagement with the goal of improving student achievement

Software

Used to purchase school-wide resources to support and supplement the amount and quality of instructional time and attain specific results related to academic, social, health, and nutritional, emotional and civic development of children, youth and families. Resources used to align school and community resources to attain specific results related to the academic achievement, provide extended learning opportunities and increase opportunities for student and family engagement to address the challenge of student disengagement from learning.

Supplies

Used to purchase school-wide resources and supplied to support quality of instructional time. Ultimate goal and expectations is to attain specific academic results and satisfy basic student and family needs, increase engagement and create the conditions for learning and improve student achievement and mitigating the challenge of student disengagement from learning

Technology

Funds were used school-wide to align, coordinate and leverage the field to offer and support identified disadvantages. Included here are items to leverage learning and increase equity, integrate school and community resources, to meet student and family needs as well as support engagement and attain specific results related to the academic, social, emotional, and civic development of children and youth and the involvement of their families. In addition, it is expected that funds will provide and increase strategies that support and develop the capacity of parents to support their children’s education provide extended learning opportunities and increase opportunities for student and family engagement and increase academic achievement.

As Always, I thank you and your families for taking the time to attend this truly important meeting and I invite you to continue to be involved with us and your child’s education

McKinney-Vento Homeless Education

This program provides support to ensure that homeless children and youth have equal access to the same free, appropriate, public education; including a public preschool education, with the opportunity to meet the same challenging state content and student performance standards.

PROGRAM INFORMATION

The McKinney-Vento Act states that children and youth who lack “a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence” will be considered homeless.

McKinney-Vento eligible students have the right to:

receive a free, appropriate public education;
enroll in school immediately, even if lacking documents normally required for enrollment, or having missed application or enrollment deadlines during any period of homelessness;
enroll in school and attend classes while the school gathers needed documents;
continue attending the school of origin, or enroll in the local attendance area school if attending the school of origin is not in the best interest of the student or is contrary to the request of the parent, guardian, or unaccompanied youth;
receive transportation to and from the school of origin, if requested by the parent or guardian, or by the local liaison on behalf of an unaccompanied youth; and
receive educational services comparable to those provided to other students, according to each student’s need.

Title I funds & SWP PTA Meeting

Section 1114 of Title I of the ESEA authorizes eligible schools to consolidate Title I funds, along with other Federal, State and local funds to operate schoolwide programs. The ability to consolidate funding is provided so that planners can focus on the programmatic design of the schoolwide first and then determine how the plan will be funded, rather than using the fiscal resources to determine program design. For detailed information on consolidating funds in a schoolwide program, see the non-regulatory guidance Title I Fiscal Issues: Maintenance of Effort, Comparability, Supplement Not Supplant, Carryover, Consolidating Funds in Schoolwide Programs, Grantback (awaiting publication at www.ed.gov/policy/landing.jhtml).

Conduct a comprehensive needs assessment;
Identify and commit to specific goals and strategies that address those needs;
Create a comprehensive plan; and
Conduct an annual review of the effectiveness of the schoolwide program and revise the plan as necessary.

These schools share common characteristics, including:

A clear focus;
High expectations for students and staff;
An environment focused on learning;
Strong leadership;
Curriculum, instruction, and assessments aligned with standards;
High-quality professional development;
A collaborative spirit and collaborative structures;
Meaningful parental involvement; and
A commitment to continuous review and improvement.

In general, schoolwide programs--

Plan for comprehensive, long-term improvement;
Serve all students with highly qualified teachers and paraprofessionals;
Provide continuous learning for staff, parents, and the community;
Use research-based practices to develop and implement enriched instruction for all students;
Use inclusive approaches to strengthen the school’s organizational structure;
Consolidate resources to achieve program goals[1]; and
Engage in continuous self-assessment and improvement.

There are three core elements of a schoolwide program, each of which is discussed in more detail later in this document [34 CFR 200.26].

A school operating a schoolwide program must conduct a comprehensive needs assessment that identifies the school’s strengths and challenges in key areas that affect student achievement.

The school must develop a comprehensive schoolwide plan that describes how

it will achieve the goals it has identified as a result of its needs assessment. The schoolwide plan must--

Identify reform strategies, aligned with the needs assessment, that are research-based and provide opportunities for all children to meet the State’s proficient or advanced levels of academic achievement;
- Provide instruction by highly qualified teachers;
- Offer high-quality, ongoing professional development;
- Create strategies to attract highly qualified teachers;
- Create strategies to increase parental involvement;
- Develop plans to assist preschool students through the transition from early childhood programs to local elementary school programs;
Identify measures to include teachers in decisions regarding the use of academic assessments;
Conduct activities to ensure that students who experience difficulty attaining proficiency receive effective, timely, additional assistance; and
Coordinate and integrate Federal, State and local services and programs.

consolidate funds from Title I, Part A, and other Federal education program funds and resources without maintaining separate fiscal accounting records by program, or meeting most statutory requirements of those programs [Section 1114(b)(1) of Title I of ESEA].

(See http://www.ed.gov/legislation/FedRegister/other/2004-3/070204a.html

for information on the programs that can be consolidated in a schoolwide program and examples of how to meet the intent and purposes of such programs.)

The school must evaluate annually the outcomes and the plan’s implementation to determine whether the academic achievement of all students, and particularly of low-achieving students, improved, whether the goals and objectives contained in the plan were achieved, and if the plan is still appropriate as written.

Funds were used school-wide to align, coordinate and leverage the field to offer and support identified disadvantages. It is expected that funds will provide and increase strategies that support and develop the capacity of parents to support their children’s education provide extended learning opportunities and increase opportunities for student and family engagement and increase academic achievement. Included here are items to support and increase student learning and increase equity, integrate school and community resources, to meet student and family needs as well as support engagement and attain specific results related to the academic, social, emotional, and civic development of children and youth and the involvement of their families.
